Display & Behavior Settings¶
Philosophy
Tune the visual experience and interaction logic of your calendar. These settings impact how time is represented and how you interact with the calendar grid.
Time & Dates¶
- 24-Hour Time: Toggle between AM/PM and 24h military time.
-
First Day of Week: Choose which day (Sunday, Monday, etc.) starts your week view.
-
Display Timezone: Anchor the entire calendar to a specific timezone. Defaults to your system timezone. See Timezone Support.
View Constraints & Limits¶
These settings allow you to focus on your active hours and clean up the UI:
- Slot Min/Max Time: Set the start and end of the visible day (e.g.,
08:00to20:00). - Show Weekends: Toggle the visibility of Saturday and Sunday.
- Hidden Days: Precisely hide specific days of the week (0=Sun, 1=Mon, etc.).
- Show All-Day Slot: Toggle the all-day event row in week/day views.
- Day Max Events: In Month view, limit the number of events shown per day before showing a "+ more" link.
Interaction & UI¶
